Surprisingly, all of these adorable sculptures are made from ordinary window glass! The Japanese craftswoman, the author of these amazing works, completely subdued this trivial material. All over the world her works are appreciated for their extraordinary dynamism of forms, emphasized lyricism of content and bewitching filigree performance.
Japanese artist Niyoko Ikuta is one of the most prominent figures in the recent history of Japanese glass art. She became famous for creating unusually complex and amazing sculptures from ordinary sheet glass, which is most often used to make windows.
In the succinctly titled Free Essence series of sculptures, Ikuta uses his sculptures as a tool to play with light. As if paying tribute to the talent of the Japanese master, the light behaves submissively, repeatedly reflecting and refracting in the enchanting crystal facets. Ikuta uses a special cutter to cut glass. Then she holds the resulting plates together with transparent glue - when it dries, it ceases to be visible. The result is graceful and austere sculptures that reflect the artist's inner world.
In addition to making glass sculptures, Ikuta devotes a lot of time to ceramics and varnishing (art glass for Japan is a relatively young art form). Bringing traditional Japanese motives to her work, the artist has already managed to delight private collectors and some government museums around the world.
Her work has often been exhibited in major museums and galleries of contemporary art, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Swiss design museum MUDAC, the National Museum of Art in Osaka, and the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo.
No less amazing sculptures, this time from car hubcaps, makes another talented master, a British artist Ptolemy Elrington.

American artist and designer Garrett Miller has come up with a way to entertain those whose views from the window leave much to be desired. Naughty and funny
